Here are more artifacts from the early days
of Varian in the TWT business. Wells Dodds, who hired Willis,
dropped off the edge of the earth around 1958-59 and no one I knew had a
clue what happened to him. John Sullivan stayed with Varian for
15-20 years and then went to TMEC as VP. He is now retired, but
consults. Last I heard, Jack Ruetz is still at Varian (Now CPI) and
still involved with high power TWTs. Willis died a couple of
years ago. These pictures were printed in a number of journals
as advertising around this time.--- Rene M. Rogers
